Fuck i miss Golden Core Wwx like yeah yiling patriarch is sexy and all but u know whats also cool?? The unabashed self-confidence of a young adult who has worked their way to immortality and has not yet been crushed and wearied by the inevitability of suffering

wwx who kept his golden core and instead of demonic cultivation became a twisted pan-esque figure who lured and radicalised the living rats and crows of bruial mounds and, upon returning to the world, found his music could charm not only beasts but the minds of men too? Holy shit

Its not 'demonic' cultivation/mo dao but it is still a dark path that shouldnt be walked. Only this time hes powerful enough to survive the war, to save the wens, to cleanse the burial mounds where a hundred cultivatos before had failed

And he discovers that the mountain, much like the cloud recesses, was once a wealth of natural spiritual energy that was simply corrupted by death from the wars that were fought to claim it. Now it is cleansed, and it belongs to him.

Very sexy of wwx to cultivate beyond immortality and become a god - not worshiped, necessarily, not a heavenly official, but more like the 神 deity of the mountain

Maybe conquering and taming the burial mounds was smt like his heavenly trial, nd as he stayed in the mountain and benefited off its strength there became less and less distinction between them until the patriarch is synonymous w the mountain

The wens r free to roam - no one will dare harm them, after the havock wwx wreaked on those who attacked their home. But there are seals and arrays around the base of the mountain which stops the ascent of anyone who does not have his approval.

He granted it to jiang cheng, and to yanli -and grudgingly to jzx. Nhs all but begs to come see it, but there are already far too many sect leaders w access to his mountain for his liking, so they settle to meet in yiling whenever nhs comes through

A big part of him is like lwj definitely hates me, but often feels lwj at the base of the mountain. Not forcing hiw say, or testing the seals. Just standing, looking. Waiting for wwx to come down and see him.

And whenever wwx finally does cave and goes to see what he wants nd finds out lwj just misses and worries for him (cute.........cute?? Aha hes so sweet) hes like okay ya sure ill give u my blessing And Its A Kiss

Any kiss will do - mostly on the brow or the cheek or the hand, or the top of little a-yuans head. Lwj gets his right where he wants it, and hes a Mess in that silent, panicked-composure way of his

Immortal lwj dating the god of yiling.......sexy
